Crit II

I have found a new software called 'iSpy'. It is free and can be used without limit because it is an open-source software. There will be no advertisement on the screen or time limit. So I will use this software for my project. Below is my progress on testing out the software using 3 webcams from different angle. However the angles might be different for my final. These only to show my rough idea of placing the webcams.

Types of webcams

WEBCAM 1 

WEBCAM 2

WEBCAM 3 - has 'Follow my face' feature.

Mr. Hafiz gave me a link and asked me to try a free software called 'VH Multicamera Studio'. I've downloaded it and tested it using few webcams. How ever, this software can't be viewed in fullscreen. Although the window can be maximized in many size, the toolbars will still be there. :(

Finalized measurement of the board for the peeping hole that will be placed between the spaces. (stalker's room and stalking space)

Testing

I have tested out few softwares. I still haven't found the most suitable software to be used for my project because all of the softwares are trial version.

'uWatchIt'

'uWatchIt' - expired! *fail*

'Webcam Spy'

'Webcam Spy' - It can display 4 webcams at the same time, but the screen is too small. This is a trial version.

'Security Monitor'

full screen

'Security Monitor' - This software is almost suitable for my project. It can be viewed in full screen with 4 grids. However, it is also a trial version which there will be an ads on the screen.

Crit I - Multiple Webcams

I have been testing out few softwares for multiple webcams. Softwares that I have tested are 'uWatchIt', MultiCam Pro, Security Monitor, Webcam Monitor and Webcam Spy Pro. These softwares are actually used as surveillance monitor at house or office only by using webcam.

Final Proposal

Title: Stalker

Theme: Body, Identity and Sensors

Problem Identification:
Stalking is referring to unwanted, obsessive attention by individuals to others. These stalkers are trying to invade other people's privacy and it can be lead to another issue. However, stalkers are actually being stalked as well, while we are busy stalking others, there is someone who probably stalking us too.

Aim and Objectives:
- To let user experience the feeling of being stalked

- To let people experience living in insecurity

Ideation and Concept

Create a room with a peeping hole. There will be cameras from different angle and there will be a monitor behind the peeping hole. When users peep into the hole, they will see their live visual at the monitor. This will slightly look like a surveillance monitor.
